lyrics

Countdown
[Scanlon - © Hat's Too Tight Music (ASCAP)]


The rope we’re all living on is stretched much too tight,
Our spirits are caught between places tonight.
All of these echoes of songs we’ve all sung,
No matter how big the crowd is we’re all still alone.

The El-train‘s still runnin’
And the countdown’s always comin’.

We’re saying “good-bye,” “auld lang syne,” “wish you well.”
Reciting vast empty promises we make to ourselves.
I wish I were with you, but for better or worse,
It’s just another midnight on January First.

I’d stay in the moment for a reason to be.
What are we searching for? Mistakes we can’t see.
Praying for guidance while we’re fast asleep,
I’m missing you, are you missing me?

The El-train‘s still runnin’
And the countdown’s always comin’.

We’re saying “good-bye,” “auld lang syne,” “wish you well.”
Reciting vast empty promises we make to ourselves.
I wish I were with you, but for better or worse,
It’s just another midnight on January First.

If I had three wishes you know what I’d do?
I’d split into pieces and give one to you.
It all seems so scattered, oh God I’m so lost.
We’re standing here crying “that ball’s gonna drop.”
Three, Two, One!

The El-train‘s still runnin’
And the countdown’s always comin’.

We’re saying “good-bye” “auld lang syne” “wish you well”
Reciting vast empty promises we make to ourselves.
I wish I were with you, but for better or worse,
It’s just another midnight,
It’s just another midnight,
It’s just another midnight…

On January First.
